The SoundTrackerTM System

While previous systems only “blanket out” or limit noise in higher sound frequencies, the revolution- ary new SoundTrackerTM System actually reduces noise while leaving the signal intact in the recep- tion mode. In the transmission mode, it actually strengthens the signal,providing you with a significant reduction in noise on reception

and transmission.

Sound clarity is measured by the ratio of the signal level to the noise level. The higher the signal-to-noise ratio, the better the sound.

How SoundTrackerTM Works

On Reception - “Cuts noise coming in”

With a normal CB, distant signals fall below the squelch level and are unintelligible. With a SoundTrackerTM CB, the noise level is cut up to 90%,which increases the signal-to-noise ratio and dramatically improves signal clarity. This also allows you to significantly reduce the squelch level,which greatly expands your listening range.

On Transmission - “Strengthens signals going out”

A SoundTrackerTM CB strengthens the transmit signal by more effectively using the available RF power output of the CB. The result is improved transmission signal clarity and an expanded transmission range.

Note

SoundTracker™ gives you clearer, cleaner reception to improve CB communications while on the air.
